3 places I lived, they always referred to me as “the plant guy, plant nerd” or something similar.
When I met my wife, she came to my apartment and asked, “You don’t have a kitchen table or TV but a million plants instead?”
She was happy to learn there was a 65″ TV (freaking massive back then) and a beautiful marble topped table in storage.
When she decided to move in, she asked me to get rid of some plants.
My rent was 800$ for 2 bedrooms close to campus. I asked the apartment manager if she’d buy my bigger plants. By the end of the weekend, I’d sold $3k in plants. Most went to local businesses right by the entrance. A coffee shop bought 3 and gave me “free coffee while in college. They even gave whoever was with me free coffee for the next 2 years.
We also ended up in a one bedroom as my extra bedroom was all plants, lights and humidifiers.
When the opportunity showed up for a 30x48ft greenhouse, my wife insisted, and we now have 1500 square feet of botanical fun!
In truth, I miss my old apartments filled wall to wall with plants! Keep rocking it

What do you use to wipe the leaves?
You rock. My apartments always looked like this.
